..Thus, ERP retrieval orientation effects do not depend on the employment of a copy cue condition. It is proposed that the effects reflect differences in the processing necessary to maximize overlap between cue and memory representations...

..The findings suggest that older subjects are less able than young individuals to vary their processing of retrieval cues in response to different retrieval demands...

Getting ready to remember: the neural correlates of task set during recognition memory

Alexa M MorcomInstitute of Cognitive Neuroscience and Department of Psychology, University College London, UKNeuroreport 13:149-52. 2002

..Thus, when episodic vs semantic tasks vary trial-by-trial, the establishment of a recognition memory task-set is not achieved within a single trial. The findings are discussed in relation to the notion of episodic retrieval mode...
